Best For Serious woodworkers, spoon carvers, and bowl artisans who require a double-edged hook knife capable of efficient, bidirectional cutting and high-precision detailing in concave wooden forms.

Key Features

• Optimized Double-Edge Bevels: The blade is sharpened on both sides, allowing for versatile cutting directions and exceptional fluidity when clearing material from deep, rounded wooden interiors.

• Superior Edge Geometry: Meticulously refined bevels ensure the blade glides through grain with minimal resistance, significantly reducing the fatigue and safety risks associated with dull or poorly-profiled tools.

• Professional-Grade Steel: Constructed from high-quality steel hardened to 56-58 HRC, providing the perfect balance between edge-holding capability and ease of field-sharpening.

• Purpose-Built Design: The 162’s curve is specifically calibrated to handle the medium-radius requirements of both large spoons and smaller bowls, making it one of the most versatile hook knives in your workshop.

Pro Tip & Carving Maintenance: Because the 162 is a double-edged hook knife, maintaining both sides of the blade is essential for a balanced cutting performance. Use a fine-grit slip stone or a diamond-coated honing tool to maintain the internal bevels, ensuring you apply consistent pressure on both edges during sharpening. If you notice the blade "catching" or tearing the grain instead of slicing cleanly, it is a sign that the edges need a quick strop—frequent light stropping will keep your 162 performing at a professional standard for years to come!

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
